Yep. Shovel'n and trying to market a prefab igloo.

I think the Brockway cab was different from the doors forward. Full width of the cab on the left side and the right side had a recess for an aircleaner. I'm think'n there was no outside air vent in the center of them in front of the windshiels either. At the same time, I almost remember the firewall panel looking the same as a Mack. There was a guy in New York that sawed one from the cowl back and reinstalled a newer R type mack cab from there back. Made himself a pretty clean 700 Series when he was done with it. -
That's because you were 🤪

I had never heard of it. Never seen it around here on a shelf either. Looks to be something worth looking in to .

Where's the fifth wheel ? The height of the fifth wheel means something too in relationship to a dump trailer. IDK what kind of weight you're carrying, but distributed properly it wouldn't seem it should be beating you up as you described.

MRO ?

That XO Rust paint and primer in one is kinda nice . There's a Rust-Oleum version of it too. Or if you want to get fancy, the self etching primer for them and a sand job before the topcoat. Yields a nice job for spray paint.

Geeze......I'd have figured you've already watched every episode of BBT a couple times by now.

There's a block off plate for the cooler lines. It bolts on to the little threaded holes around where it's threaded for the pipe fittings.

Springs. They don't have to be broke to be worn out.
-
Does it have any caster ? Like from it missing because the springs are shot and the kingpins are straight up and down?
-
That may be a bigger insurance claim then wrecking a KIA

Once the Autocar got the "family" cab, it was all downhill from there. The ACL hung around a little, then ???? Sound familiar ?

Remember what they did to these.

Old Jake brake thread. Brake saver retarder question
Mark T replied to BronsonA2150's topic in Engine and Transmission
Telmas were popular on packers (garbage trucks) too. Some Macks made to be packers had no provisions for an engine brake. Telmas would have been quiet in residential areas as well. Brakesaver ? Whole different animal from back when Cats had overhead cams and an injection pump. Closest fluid type retarder would have been in an Allison automatic back then. Brakesaver was heavy, high maintenance and overall costly. Some 3406s still had them, but they were pretty much out of the picture by the mid to later '80s -
There's this stuff called 303 Graphine. Comes in a small bottle more like something you'd find mustard in (black). I think it works great for bringing back plastics that are discolored.

For what it's worth ? I keep a pack of birthday cake candles in the tray on the torch cart. I use them instead of WD40 or something when heating something like that stubborn stud.

Nice 30 by 50 Morton would cure the problem.

I don't know if it's true , but I hear the view has a forum with high intellect.

This was some school in Pennsylvania with a 13 second B Model 1/4 miler
-
Did you see the B Model in the post where the guy was searching for someone to do some injection work ?
-
Nice. You gotta be feeling good that you know it's just getting in the truck now.
-
IDK Jojo. I've seen other pictures he's posted and thought grey tits.
-
Sounds a little like that story about Goldilocks.

I think people in general had more common sense back then. Wasn't so much of the extremism which causes so much of the nonsense.
